One Acts Prove Successful Good rehearsals and much enthusiasm paid off for everyone involved in the One Acts this year. “Uninvited Ghost,” a my- stery, provided a break between the two com- edies, “Shock of Your Life” and “Sure as You’re Born”. 1- Jim Elliott and his wife-to-be Dorothy go house hunt- ing. 2- Mr. Jones keeps on eye on Wilber Mae as Jackie Jor- gensen watches from backstage. 3- Mr. Maxwell decides he’d be much happier if his son Wilber had been a girl. 4- The “Uninvited Ghost” tries to scare off Bill, one of the teenage explorers. • • A “Shock of Your Life” by Donald Payton Mr. Maxwell Kurt Schiferl Mrs. Maxwell..........Jackie Smith Connie Brenda Alberts Betty Lou ............Penny Odland Wilbur Todd Buckstead Hercules .....................Luke Mikkelsen “Sure as You’re Born” by Donald Payton Wilbur Maxwell Bret Ferguson Betty Lou.............Denise Smith Connie Sandy Lehmann Mrs. Maxwell Peggy Heirigs Mr. Maxwell Tim Flint Mr. Jones James Wright “Uninvited Ghost” by Roma Greth Hetty Teresa Mikkelsen Madge Susan Spomer Bill Steve Sorensen Rich Kurt Schiferl Nancy Rachael Benson Blaine Sheila Weier Sissie Shelley Severson Jim Elliot Jim Heidelberger Dorothy Warren Jacki Jorgensen Hortense Gardner Linda Christensen Support Personnel Beth Nielsen and Cindy Jorgensen 28
